Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Smac is a very clever dragon. He is leader of his clan of dragons, and one of the best they have ever seen. He is an amazing strategist; they have never lost a battle even against a clan of brute dragons. He is kind, and always helps everyone in need, even if they are not from his clan. He is always understanding of his fellow dragons and always accepts excuses and makes allowances. His clan honors him more than most of their previous leaders, and even some members of other clans respect him. He is almost never unreasonable to any dragon, no matter who they are, though he defends his clan with such a fury and passion that many fear him and don't deal with his clan at all, afraid to offend them, leaving them sadly alone.
